Stake conference and a lot of missionaries

 Good morning from Finland! :)

Hope you are all doing well. I am doing really well. 

Last weekend we had our stake conference, and this time it was .in Turku. the old capitol of our country. I like Turku a lot.. The people are nice, the ocean is close by (makes me feel at home, because I lived in Stockholm 12 years). I used to pass through Tukru A LOT when I lived in Stockholm...

I got a ride there with my friends. That was really nice.

On Saturday we arrived and we had the evening meeting at the church. I only said a quick word to the missionaries and left early because I was hungry and tired. I spent the night at my friend Virika. It was really nice. We watched "Isn't it romantic?" -a romantic comedy on Netflix, we also ate pizza.

Sorry, this blog has turned more into a "normal blog" with a dash of missionaries! I am sorry!

So. On Sunday I went a little earlier to the theater where we had our Sunday meeting. I sat before the meeting in the back corner and most of the people arriving came through that door, especially all the missionaries! :D It was so fun to high five or shake some hands when they passed by. The person sitting next to me exclaimed: "Wow! You know a lot of missionaries..." I answered: "I think they know me." Well, of course it goes both ways... HAH! Yeah, I know, I am SO funny.

I went tio sit next to my current missionary family (those serving in Tampere) in the first row and met Elder Watson! I hadn't seen him since November last year. It was good to see him. I gave him a going home -present on Saturday, told him to open it on the plane lol. Something he might like. 

He is soon going home.

After the meeting I stayed a while to chat with the missionaries and then left with my friends a while after that. I took a picture of elder Standage, he looked so happy, And of course of me and elder Watson. One more for the road hahhah! :D

Anywho, it was a very successful weekend and I learned a lot of new things that were taught at the meetings. I like traveling too. Me and my friends stopped at a restaurant/shop on the way back in a place named Aura. Which reminds me that I love blue cheese! A Finnish kind of blue cheese is named Aura cheese :D

More later!

My trip to Finland's old capitol: TURKU and fun times with the missionaries...

  Good morning! :) How goes it? I am happy and I am going to the Temple today with my best friend from my ward... Anywhooo... I visited Turku/Åbo at the end of November. It was a blast. I spent four days in the old capitol of my country, which in my humble opinion should have been kept as the capitol... As a person from Tampere/Tammerfors I should maybe expected to NOT like Turku, but like my father - I do like Turku and have liked it for a long time. I stayed at my friends' place and they were so kind to me and I could "do my stuff" there in peace, like reading, writing and listening to music. I also loved attending the zoom -meetings that I had during my stay. My lovely friends are originally from Jyväskylä. We have known each other for years... Sorry, long intro... :D  I spent four fabulous days in Turku. On Thursday I arrived and didn't meet with the missionaries that day, I rested from my trip to Turku. I arrived in the morning. OK. Sorry for the long backstory. ...

Boss/Mom and her excellent children :)

 Good afternoon! This post is about two things: 1. How awesome missionaries are 2. How I am always on their side come what may SO. There has been a little break from last week's Tuesday until this week's Tuesday when I couldn't go to church or the activities at church. I had the flu... :( A little remnants still but almost okay now. I went to Game night this week on Tuesday. It was good. I spent a lot of time talking with one of the sisters and we played the piano for each other.. Then I also got a blessing because my anxiety has been acting up again. I must say, our elder Heaton is like a big brother, even to me! :) So wise and je ne sais quoi. Just a really good person. I am so grateful for all my bonus children.  I do not really remember if I told you in this blog that I am saving up money to go to Utah next year with my mom :) I have never been there. We have two relatives and their families living in Salt Lake City... I have like a billion children in Utah lol. Not a b...
